Sol 6.1

  1. اقول لشخص غليظ المزاج

    لطور ثقال الطباع انتهى

    I say to one of coarse temperament,

    Who has reached the state of the sluggish-natured,

  2. وافرط حتى بلا ضابط

    اعاب السماع وعنه نهى

    And has gone so far that, without restraint,

    He condemned listening to song and forbade it:

  3. اما ترى العيس باحمالها

    اذا ما رأى اهلها وهنها

    Do you not see the pale camels with their loads?

    Whenever their keepers see their weariness,

  4. حدوها فاضحت باعبائها

    تثور حين يغنونها

    They chant to them, and the camels, with their burdens, begin

    To spring up when they sing to them.
